The profile certainly sounds interesting; if I see one of his recent novels, I think I'll give him a try, although I wonder if Tim Powers* is not a better mainstream rationalist author?

* Double-checking, I see Powers is classified as a SF/F author, so I guess he's not a good comparison after all.

Also, I think he's pretty religious; a crypto-Catholic, if I remember correctly.
